1
Save me, O my God. The floods have risen.
2
Deeper and deeper I sink in the mire; the waters rise around me.
3
I have wept until I am exhausted; my throat is dry and hoarse; my eyes are swollen with weeping, waiting for my God to act.
4
I cannot even count all those who hate me without cause. They are influential men, these who plot to kill me though I am innocent. They demand that I be punished for what I didn't do.
5
O God, you know so well how stupid I am, and you know all my sins.
6
O Lord God of the armies of heaven, don't let me be a stumbling block to those who trust in you. O God of Israel, don't let me cause them to be confused,
7
though I am mocked and cursed and shamed for your sake.
8
Even my own brothers pretend they don't know me!
9
My zeal for God and his work burns hot within me. And because I advocate your cause, your enemies insult me even as they insult you.
10
How they scoff and mock me when I mourn and fast before the Lord!
11
How they talk about me when I wear sackcloth to show my humiliation and sorrow for my sins!
12
I am the talk of the town and the song of the drunkards.
13
But I keep right on praying to you, Lord. For now is the time—you are bending down to hear! You are ready with a plentiful supply of love and kindness. Now answer my prayer and rescue me as you promised.
14
Pull me out of this mire. Don't let me sink in. Rescue me from those who hate me, and from these deep waters I am in.
15
Don't let the floods overwhelm me or the ocean swallow me; save me from the pit that threatens me.
16
O Jehovah, answer my prayers, for your loving-kindness is wonderful; your mercy is so plentiful, so tender and so kind.
17
Don't hide from me, for I am in deep trouble. Quick! Come and save me.
18
Come, Lord, and rescue me. Ransom me from all my enemies.
19
You know how they talk about me, and how they so shamefully dishonor me. You see them all and know what each has said.
20
Their contempt has broken my heart; my spirit is heavy within me. If even one would show some pity, if even one would comfort me!
21
For food they gave me gall; for my awful thirst they offered vinegar.
22
Let their joys turn to ashes and their peace disappear;
23
let darkness, blindness, and great feebleness be theirs.
24
Pour out your fury upon them; consume them with the fierceness of your anger.
25
Let their homes be desolate and abandoned.
26
For they persecute the one you have smitten and scoff at the pain of the one you have pierced.
27
Pile their sins high and do not overlook them.
28
Let these men be blotted from the list of the living; do not give them the joys of life with the righteous.
29
But rescue me, O God, from my poverty and pain.
30
Then I will praise God with my singing! My thanks will be his praise—
31
that will please him more than sacrificing a bullock or an ox.
32
The humble shall see their God at work for them. No wonder they will be so glad! All who seek for God shall live in joy.
33
For Jehovah hears the cries of his needy ones and does not look the other way.
34
Praise him, all heaven and earth! Praise him, all the seas and everything in them!
35
For God will save Jerusalem; he rebuilds the cities of Judah. His people shall live in them and not be dispossessed.
36
Their children shall inherit the land; all who love his name shall live there safely.
